Day Trippers cycle touring company was established in 1992 and has steadily grown into one of the leading alternative and adventure touring companies in SA. Our specialty is obviously bicycle touring – both road and mountain bike – and with over 200 bicycles, 8 vehicles and 10 custom-built bicycle trailers in our fleet, we are able to deal with groups of all sizes: – a city cycle tour, a mellow cycle in the wine lands or Cape Point, a forest cycle, a multi-day Cedarburg challenge, cycle the Garden Route, the Wild Coast, Lesotho, best of The Cape mountain biking,Table Mountain hike & bike – whatever!

We cater for shoe string, mid -range or up market groups, giving each our best hands-on service while staying within your budget.The company was started by husband & wife team Steve and Di Thomas with an old VW Kombi and 6 bikes on the roof. Di ran the office and looked after the two boys, whilst Steve guided the tours and tried to sell them at night. This was a really daft idea with South Africa experiencing momentous political changes as it stumbled about dismantling Apartheid. Persistence paid off and indeed, as things settled down, Day Trippers was ready for the tourist upswing to come.

Today, Day Trippers is still a family run enterprise. Clients have become friends, children
become guides and guides become family and we still love what we do – allowing guests to experience South Africa from the saddle of a bicycle.

Our speciality is obviously bicycling and with over 200 bicycles and a range of custom-built bicycle trailers in our fleet.
